What to know about manual to electric conversion in Portishead
Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails. The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed.
The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready. Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door.
Specification options
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Options for heavy steel curtains
